hey i'm trying to get my parents moved over to mint :)

Moved my mother a few days ago (LMDE). Printer too. Took about an hour.

Most of it was getting apps setup, moving pictures over, and making sure she was already logged into things like Facebook so she did not have to remember the passwords after I left.

Her biggest complaint has been that her friends email addresses do mot automatically pop-up in Thunderbird. They will once she has sent or received email from them. So this will pass.

I moved mine over about 2 years ago.

Only issue was getting the printer to work.... Took a few hours.
